CHINO AND CHINO HILLS, CA, February 17, 2010 - On Wednesday, February 17, 2010, executives and business leaders, known as "jailbirds", from Chino and Chino Hills will be "arrested" for "having a big heart for Jerry's Kids" at the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Executive Lock-Up. Members of the business community will join BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in an effort to raise money for the Southeast Los Angeles/ San Bernardino County chapter of the MDA.
The Chino/ Chino Hills Executive Lock-Up will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, 4585 Chino Hills Parkway., Chino and Chino Hills, C.A. 91710.
Jailbirds will be mock arrested from their place of work and escorted to and from BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Chino Sheriffs Department "paddy wagons". Upon arrival, the jailbirds will have their mug shots and fingerprints taken, turn in their bail of $1,600, enjoy BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse version of bread and water and have the opportunity to network with other bail-raising friendly felons.
Some of the companies who will be represented at the event include: Southern California Realty Associates, Sweet Craze, Wine Down, Chase, Capital-Lumber, Inland Empire Escrow, Bank of the West, Extended Stay America, Haughey Insurance, Old Navy, Family Healthcare of Chino Hills, and Browning Manufacturing.
Karen Sheridan and Veronica Cardenas are being recognized as our 'Jailbirds of the Week' for the Cerritos Lock'Up. 'Jailbird of the Week' is a newsletter to honor an extraordinary jailbird that displays 'best behavior' as deemed by his or her parole officer. Karen and Veronica love working to help the public on a daily basis at Family Healthcare in Chino hills. It has given them the opportunity to help others and give back to those in need.
At Family Healthcare, Dr. Silao is always striving to do whatever he can to help his patients and it has really encouraged those around him to always try to make a difference in people's lives when ever possible. Karen and Veronica are participating in the MDA Chino/Chino Hills Lock Up because they know in today's tough economic market groups like MDA suffer the most. They understand MDA is dedicated to the goal of protecting and helping children through difficult times. These two feel privileged to be part of a foundation like the MDA and their involvement is making a huge difference!
